On September 21st I will take the 100 Wave Challenge and do my best to catch 100 waves in ONE DAY to raise $2,400 to sponsor 4 boys for a year with a remarkable organization called Boys to Men Mentoring. The last two years I participated WE sponsored 14 young men, you and I did. Can we sponsor 4 boys this year? WE Sure can. Boys to Men is a group mentoring program working with fatherless and high-risk teenage boys in 38 middle schools and high schools across San Diego County. BTM provides mentors to the boys in the program who often have no positive male role models – the men in their lives are in gangs, prison or have abandoned them in most cases. The money raised in this single event allows Boys to Men to provide trained mentors throughout the year and help make a difference in the lives of those who need them most. Sadly, nearly 80% of the boys in this program don’t have a father in their home.
So, what am I doing? I will be catching 100 waves in ONE DAY, which is the surfing equivalent of running a marathon, not easy at all. After 50 waves your exhausted but you go out again and grab ten more, then ten more…….
What can you do to support me and the boys who need Boys to Men Mentoring in their lives?
You can make a donation to my page and please help me get the word out about this event and
the good we are doing!
I get to share in the blessing of sponsoring 8 young boys.
They are not drug addicts.
They are not court ordered to attend BTM, they want to.
They are not looking for a handout.
They are not helpless.
They are, fatherless.
They are, willing to listen, understand, and follow their hearts.
They are, looking to be someone.
They are, hopeful.
They are, some really cool kids.
They are, my friends.
Every dollar helps, so please give what you can to help me reach my goal!
I have donated the first $50, who wants to help me meet my goal again this year?
Thank you for your support and love.
